[ODYSSEY(오디세이)] is an album that contains the ‘nonstop growth story’ of RISE, who are running again for a leap forward befitting their 2nd debut anniversary in 2025, and is comprised of a total of 10 tracks including the title song ‘Fly Up’.

The title song ‘Fly Up’ is a dance song reminiscent of the 1950s Rock and Roll style.The lyrics describe the six members gradually becoming closer to and enjoying themselves together with people in the wider world without prejudice or boundaries through music and dance, and hint at the new growth momentum gained from RISE’s experience traveling around the world since their debut.

The lyrics of this album fully reflect the emotions felt by the members, starting with the first track “Odyssey” which tells the mindset of facing the start of a new chapter, followed by the hip-hop song “Bag Bad Back” which lets you feel Rise’s vision as a team, the intense dance song “Ember to Solar” which contains the team color of overcoming adversity and soaring toward the goal, and the youth cheer song “Show Me Love” which is Rise-style and has an attractive sing-along section.

Also, the instrumental piece ‘Passage’, which music producer Yoon Sang participated in, becomes an emotional turning point in the album, and the album also includes the fairytale-like atmosphere of ‘Midnight Mirage’, two fan songs, the lyrical ballad ‘The End of the Day’ and the retro-feeling pop ballad ‘Inside My Love’, as well as the 10th track ‘Another Life’, which contains Rise’s ambitions and determination.

RISE’s first full-length album is released today(the 19th), and RISE has confirmed their first solo concert tour starting in Seoul in July and will travel to 14 regions around the world.In October, they will be the first K-pop idol to appear at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in the United States.
